Jewel Beetle Trio Beetle In Box Frame (Polybothris sumptuosa, Chrysochroa fulminans & castelnaudi)

    Each One Shines On It's Own

    I love these little guys! The 3 of them in one frame is great because it fits perfectly in a spot where I needed a long slim frame. Each one of the beetles can easily stand on it's own and shine. The option to have all 3 in one frame with a lower price point rather than 3 separate framed specimens thus more bang for the buck was great for me too. I'm pretty obsessed with my collection at this point.

        Just WOW!

        This is by far one of my favorite specimens in my collections. The colors pop like electric neon! So colorful and beautiful. It's hard to believe this little beauty is not from an alien planet. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the size as well. It's larger than I expected.

            extraordinary

            When it comes to having a bug collection having a male and female version set is crucial . The luna moth pair is by far one of the most beautiful pair you could buy. This was gifted to my partner for her birthday

              Stunning Moth!

              So pleased with how this one looks on the wall, it was much larger than I thought even though I already knew it was a big moth but it stands out compared to other specimens. A must have for any collection. The detail on the wings is beautiful and the snake heads at the tips are so unique.

                      I bought this for my brother as a gift and it was just as incredible as I'd hoped! The care taken to preserve the bat and display it were obvious. I was so impressed I showed it off to loads of people before wrapping it for him, and he's done the same since opening it!

                        I purchased a Stag Beetle (Odontolabis sommeri) for my grandson who is a budding 11 YO entomologist. He was delighted with it, also I was extremely pleased with the sales, after sales communication and delivery process.

                                      The Great Nawab

                                      When I had the chance to get one I was so thrilled! A truly amazing specimen, so fun to see the underside.

                                      The colours just pop so well againat the frame bwing black, and when close you can see its eyes and fuzzy legs!

                                      Another 10/10 purchase.

                                        Another gorgeous piece by Minibeasts. The combination of wood and green moss really puts this specimen to another level.

                                        The detail of its pinning and mounting to its final position makes it look as if itll move! My variation looks awesome with one arm slightly closed, really showing the fine details. The colours are amazing and really show how these creatures can be some of the most beautiful!

                                        I am so pleased to have gotten this Mantis in the dome. Looks perfect against the fireplace and the other domes I have!

                                        10/10!

I bought it for it's rich textured colors that just look sophisticated. It did not disappoint! Yet another banger from Minibeast! Great quality work!

                                                        I love this little chunk of meteorite. I love collecting rocks, but this is my first meteorite I have purchased and i'm fascinated by it. The presentation in the glass dome makes me feel like I have a little museum in my home. The only thing I wish I had more of was the origin story. This does come from a letter of authenticity from MiniBeast saying it was "checked and verified by the team" but what sources were checked, how was it verified, where and when was the meteorite collected. Where and when did the meteorite reportedly crash to earth. I'd love to know those bits of information.

                                                          Blue Morpho Butterfly In Glass Dome (Morpho didius)

                                                            Jaw Dropping!

                                                            This was my first specimen I purchased in a glass dome and as soon as I unboxed it I was jaw dropped at how immaculate and beautiful it was! I specially ordered floating shelves that would hold the large glass domes. This one needed a 9'' square shelf because if it's size. Because the wings are so large and the blue wings are so vibrant it almost looks like there is a battery powering the specimen inside. I'm immediately addicted. The only downside I see is that I now want to buy all of the glass dome specimens on the site,

                                                                                          I really like the beetle pairs and hope minibeast will stock some other varieties. I asked for a different sized frame and this was easily accommodated. I would recommend this pair.

We’ve hung it next to some preciously purchased butterfly specimens - also from Minibeast. We love the contrast between the coral pink walls, the black frames, white frame mount and beautifully coloured butterflies.

Always beautiful, so well packaged and presented with lots of care. The blue never fails to get the attention.

The colours and positions really make them shine, will be the centre piece of many more to come. Its great to see the wings open and the male/female comparisons. So happy I managed to be the lucky owner of this pair!
